If you have a steamer of any kind that makes the job go fast. If not set a fan in front of the freezer. If no fan, try a hair dryer. No dryer you will just have to pick away.

When you empty your freezer, put your frozen food in a cooler or cardboard boxes and top with layers of newspaper, so nothing thaws out.
Then, get some old, clean bath/beach towels and fold them up to fit on the floor in front of your freezer.
Next, set a fan about 6-8 feet away from the freezer and turn it on 'high'. This shouldn't take long. Be sure that the fan will NOT be in any water that runs out of the freezer, to avoid an electrical shock.
Have a pail or bowl to squeeze the water into after defrosting. You might have to change the towels occasionally.
Under the front of the freezer door, may be a tray that you can slide out that might have water in it, also. Remove that and wash with warm water before placing back under freezer.
After it's all defrosted, wipe the racks and walls of the inside with warm, not hot, water to which you've added a little vinegar or baking soda.
Dry well.
Place an opened box of baking soda in the door of the freezer to keep it fresh-smelling and re-stock with your frozen items.

Years ago, WE had one. My wife let it defrost long enough, where she could start pulling the ice off. Don ot use a knife, because you might make a hole, and let out all the freon! Then she used a bucket to get most of the water!

Put food in cooler with alot of ice. Unplug freezer,put pan of hot water in bottom and wait. When ice starts to break up take it out in chunks. When it starts to loosen up use knife to break away don't chop and be gentle because you can poke hole in freezer

i turn it off, take everything out and place in coolers or boxes and go at it with a heat gun. Tried the hair dryer one and burned it out. You can also put in a pot or 2 of hot water to help loosen up the chunks. depends on how bad it is to begin with

Take out the food use a spray bottle and with warm water spray the ice it will fall off. Do not use any type of tools to remove it
